JAMES R. COMBS, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

CHAN'GE -MAKIN G MACHINE.

Application filed May 4, 1916.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JAMES R. Comes, a

. citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Change-Making Machines,

of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to change making machines wherein the amount of money tendered,the amount of the purchase, and the amount of change due, are indicated, and which delivers the exact change in the fewest denominational units.

One of the main objects is to provide means for the delivery of the monetary notes,

as well as the coins, at a common delivery point, instead of only the coins as in machines of this class now known to me.

A further ObJect is to provide means for segregating the several notes in each of a plurality of stacks of different denominations, whereby the possibility of delivering more than a required number of notes from a stack is prevented.

A further object is to provide a structure wherein there is no possibility of related parts being carried out of original relationship, as by a sudden or jerky manipulation by a careless or hasty operator, a faultin some machines now known to me.

A further object is to provide means whereby the actuation of the computing clcments in the same direction for the plus and minus calculations. thereby overcoming a. common fault of moving such elements in one direction for one calculation and in a reversed direction for the other calculation,

this double movcmcnt requiring that certain parts shall be engaged for thc first calculation. rclcascd. and again engaged for the second calculation. thereby presenting opport lmities for deraugementof the parts hile in the released condition.

A further object is to provide a multiple ejector as a unit whereby anypossibility of non-cjcction for one or more of thc stacks is prevented.

A further object is to provide a lock common to all the note and coin stacks and which lock is not released until the selectively adju ed element are in definite posi- Speciflcation of Letters Patent.

ally movable elements by depressed ones of.

a plurality of manipulativekeys the depression of which, however, does not actuate any If the movable elements and, in conjunction therewith, I employ certain selective part-s shown and described in United States Letters Patent, 1,218,376, granted to me on the 6th day of March. 1917.

My invention is fully described in the following specification, of which the accompanying drawings form a part; in which like characters refer to like parts in each of the views, and in which Figure 1 is a perspcctivc front view of one embodiment of m v invcntion. with the keys set for a ccrtaiu calculation and change delivery;

Fig. 2 is a rear pcrspective view thereof;

Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary view to clearly illustratc the arrangement of the selective keys;-

Fig. 4 is a section taken on the line H of Fig. 3;

Fig. l" is a fragmcntary view of a detail shown in Fig. 4. partly in section;

Fig. 5 is a lctachcd view of a detail shown in Fig. -l;

Figs. o and 6 jointly comprise a section taken on the linc (3-6'of Fig. 4; with certain parts out of normal positions to show their structure:

Fig. 7 is a fragmentary section taken on the line TT of Fig. 4. as well as on the line 77 of said figure. the structure lacing alike upon each line;

Fig. 8 is a similar section taken on the line 8-8 of Fig. 4:

Fig. 8" is a fragmentary view of Fig. 8, from the right hand sidc. to show a dial counter or totalizcr;

Fig. 5) is a' section taken on the line 99 of F ig. 8;

Fig. 9 is a plan view of Fig. 9;

Fig. 10 is a section taken on the line 10-10 of Fig. 8; i
